Kory Grow
Summary
New York prosecutors have decided not to pursue a fourth trial against Harvey Weinstein on rape charges brought by actress Jessica Mann. The case, which originally resulted in a 2020 conviction that was later overturned, saw two subsequent retrials in 2025 and 2026 end in mistrials due to deadlocked juries. A judge has now dismissed the third-degree rape charges, effectively ending the legal proceedings on these specific charges.
